Snowflake supports cross-cloud and cross-region replication and failover to minimize disruption. True or False?

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only cross-region
• D. Only cross-cloud

Answer: (A)

Snowflake enables disaster recovery through replication that works across both regions and cloud providers, with failover to the replicated target when needed. This means you can copy databases to a secondary Snowflake account in a different region and even to a different cloud, then switch operations over to that DR target to minimize disruption during outages or maintenance. Replication is typically asynchronous, so there may be a small lag, but it provides a ready-to-use DR path and the ability to fail over and back as required. Because Snowflake supports both cross-region and cross-cloud replication, the statement is true.
